In nature, quadrupedal mammals can run at high speeds over uneven terrain, turn sharply, jump obstacles, and stop suddenly. While these abilities are common features in biological locomotion, they represent remarkable feats from both an engineering and control perspective. Although some robots over the past several decades have been capable of dynamic running gaits, none have adequately demonst...

The recognition of repetitive movements characteristic of walking people, galloping horses, or ying birds is a routine function of the human visual system. It has been demonstrated that humans can recognize such activity solely on the basis of motion information. We present a novel computational approach for detecting such activities in real image sequences on the basis of the periodic nature o...

This paper proposes a micro-code based Programmable Memory BIST (PMBIST) architecture that can support various kinds of test algorithms. The proposed Non-linear PMBIST (NPMBIST) guarantees high flexibility and high fault coverage using not onlyMarch algorithms but also non-linear algorithms such as Walking and Galloping. This NPMBIST has an optimized hardware overhead, since algorithms can be i...

Once convinced in his own mind that Insulite was the best available substance, Jarvis ordered the construction of several experimental tees for the Galloping Hills course. Strips were cut from the board, 2V2 inches in width and 5 feet in length. The material is approximately V2 inch in thickness. Boxes to hold the strips were then built, 5 by 10 ft., 2 in. in height. At first they were construc...

Intelligent controllers are being used with increasing effectiveness on complex systems. This work verifies the effectiveness of fuzzy control, an intelligent method, on a single, articulated-leg that was designed to be used on a high-speed galloping quadruped. Intelligent methods are compared to other control methods in simulation and on the OSU DASH (Dynamic Articulated Structure for High-per...

At the June 26, 2000 Human Genome Announcement Speech at the White House, President Clinton praised the completion of the initial working draft sequence of the entire 3.2-Gb haploid human genome, stating: “It will revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of most, if not all, human diseases.” The announcement was universally hailed as a historic achievement for some hopes for gallop...

In the last decade an increasing number of farmers worldwide have adopted the technique of ammoniation as a means of increasing the utilisation of roughages by ruminants, Our work has identified problems with ammoniation which are similar to those encountered with ammoniated molasses in the 1950%. Since July 1984 there have been several outbreaks of hyperexcitability in cattle fed ammoniated ro...

The recognition of repetitive movements character istic of walking people galloping horses or ying birds is a routine function of the human visual system It has been demonstrated that humans can recognize such activity solely on the basis of motion information We demonstrate a general computational method for recog nizing such movements in real image sequences using what is essentially template...
